Loose video connection when flying

[Rik]

Lately when I've been flying, I loose video connection with the Mavic and the controller/my phone.

I still can control the up/down right/left but I have no video to see what I am doing.

Can this just be as simple as the cable that connects from the controller to my I phone being bad?

Seems if I land, shut it off, unplug and re plug the cable back in and launch it will work fine until some other random time to disconnect???

Thanks

What drone? But yes, you might have a cable problem

Cable is first thing to check. Also are u connected to controller by side port? Or main USB port on the bottom. I would go with port on bottom.

Side port... Never though to do the USB on the bottom. That'd save me searching for the DJI cable

I have found the bottom port to be more stable. Just use the side port to charge.

Timothy Sunday has a video about this...I'll dig up the link. Ok...I dug up the link

He recommends the Anker cable - I picked up one and it does work very well.

Hope this helps.
